This
is Matthew with loving greetings and joyous Easter tidings to all.

1. Some zones of
Earth are welcoming the first signs of spring, the season of rebirth and
rejuvenation, and I feel it is an especially appropriate time to describe
our beloved Earth as we see her from this station—how we wish that everyone
on the planet could witness this magnificence! Please imagine a
brilliantly blue sphere with myriad sparkling pinpoints of light as it
recedes into an ever lightening space and joins other celestial bodies. All
of these vibrant, glittering orbs are rotating among evanescent pastel
ribbons wafting through space in rhythm with the angelic music of the
spheres. This is your world in balance and harmony with its neighbors.

2. Bringing your view
of Earth back from her universal placement, you see countless sparkling
lights blinking upwards toward the filaments of a golden grid above vast
verdant areas and expanses of pristine azure waters. Now narrow your
view—feel the serenity of the rolling countryside; hover above towns and
cities and feel the exhilaration of the residents that permeates the
atmosphere. Closing in further still, see imaginatively designed buildings
of many sizes and shapes, flower gardens brightly dotting the landscape
among the trees, animals of all species roaming freely in parks as adults
watch children gleefully playing with them. Feel the energy of joy and
peacefulness emanating from Earth herself.

3. This is your
Golden Age world that already exists in the reality of the continuum, the
World that you are co-creating in this moment of illusory linear time.

4. Hold firm these
blissful visions and sensations in your minds and hearts as you deal with
the situations confronting you. In stark contrast to the idyllic
scenes and emotions of the Golden Age on your horizon, Earth’s energy field
of potential is teeming with combative activity. It is conclusive that the
light is victorious, but the tenacious energy streamers of darkness still
are struggling to survive. As the power of the ones influenced by the
darkness keeps waning, their desperate foundering grows and so does their
perniciousness. For a while longer you will see this in a number of ways,
including an assortment of grave pronouncements and “leaked” plans, all
intended to fill you with fear. Oh yes, dark plans do indeed exist, but
they will not reach fruition! So recognize them for what they are—the
flailing of souls intensely fear-filled themselves because they know their
long era of keeping Earth’s people locked in violence, deception and
ignorance is over. The dark ones are panicking as they see their
numbers dwindling, the futility of their attempts to keep hidden their
history of manipulating all life on the planet, and their efforts to retain
control thwarted again and again by the ever-increasing light of the higher
frequencies Earth has reached in her steady ascension course.

5. The frequencies
now prevailing are raising consciousness on a global scale. The
rebelling against oppressive forces and the rallying for peace are
mounting. So are efforts to end starvation and genocide, impoverishment and
inhumane laws; actions are intensifying to stop environmental destruction
and to protect the animal and plant kingdoms. In short, you are following
your pre-birth chosen missions to help Earth’s peoples rise above third
density mentality, activities and consequences, and by your steadfastness
within the light forces, you are succeeding!

6. Those same
frequencies also are presenting physical anomalies and emotional peaks and
valleys. Understanding this can lessen anxious moments about unusual
symptoms, and there are helpful steps to relieve stress, frustrations and
restlessness. Take time from your busy days to reach the sacred space
within—whether you think of it as meditation, soul searching, prayer or even
escape from the world, the resulting tranquility is balm for mind, body and
spirit. To uplift yourselves on a more active basis, spend time with
kindred spirits—if you are not already including animals and trees among
these, start now. Turn your thoughts of anxiety about adversity to
gratitude for blessings; breathe deeply and let go of uncomfortable feelings
you have held in check; listen to melodic music; write to the distant friend
or family member you have been meaning to; watch a comical film; read or
write poetry; take long walks; volunteer time to worthy community efforts;
support charitable organizations; paint a room or a picture, whichever you
feel more inclined to do. Smile! Those may sound trivial in the
face of world events, but each moment spent in meaningful ways soothes the
mind and leads to balance within.

7. This is especially important in your adjustment physically and
emotionally to the higher frequencies because you also are encountering
the effects of low frequency emissions from HAARP and other surveillance
systems, the radioactive fallout of weaponry, cell phones and electric power
stations in addition to the proliferation of pollutants in your air, soil
and water. If we can say “that’s the bad news,” we hasten to give you the
“good news”: Your benevolent space family is using their technology to
ameliorate to the greatest possible extent the damaging effects of those
toxic ingredients.

8. But be aware that
even though health disorders are exacerbated by bodies adjusting to the
higher frequencies and by those many sources of contaminants, the root cause
may be different, and it is wise to consult a trusted health care provider.
Chemicals in pharmaceutical drugs and those you call “illegal” diminish
or destroy your body’s self-healing mechanisms, thus they are
counterproductive to healing and well being. While I do not endorse any
products, I do recommend that you explore combinations of natural
ingredients that may be very effective in reinforcing immune systems and
strengthening energy levels. It is helpful to search the Internet and
discuss the various natural remedies with a health care provider and
friends; however, each body is unique, so trust your intuition about which
products will best serve you. It is important that you drink
a great deal of pure water to help balance the body’s electromagnetic system
and flush out toxins, and I repeat what I mentioned in prior messages
about the great benefits of monatomic gold for enhancing brain functioning
and spiritual clarity.

9. Now then, to speak
about the most profound reforms underway. The disastrous state of the United States’
economy and its consequences that are rebounding around the world is in the
public domain. Although still largely in the grip of Illuminati
censorship, mainstream media are truthfully reporting the tip of this
fast-melting iceberg. To establish a new system of banking and
commerce based in integrity, it is essential that Illuminati control be
eliminated, and they are doing this themselves—their centuries of greed,
deceit and monetary manipulation on an international scale have resulted in
a system that is collapsing under its own weight. For a bit longer
there will be scurrying about to apply band aids to a dying economic entity,
but its inevitable death is essential to transforming today’s world into the
World you are there to help create.

10. Of equal
importance in the transformation process, the changes in government
officials will continue at its accelerated pace as hidden agendas and
corruption become public knowledge and the angered citizenry demands full
disclosure. Continuance in all leadership positions is dependent
upon those individuals’ acceptance or rejection of the light that is being
generated by lightworkers and your space family and being beamed with full
intensity to all persons holding influential positions. Those who
reject the light will either be voted out of office, overthrown by the
people they have betrayed and oppressed, or their bodies will die as Earth
moves into still higher frequencies, where physical survival is impossible
without the cellular changes that light enables. Eventually the fact will
come forth that some publicly seen leaders are clones.

11. The US military
troops in
Iraq will be withdrawn in
increments after the US presidential election, and within
a very few years, all occupation troops worldwide will be back in their
native countries. The cessation of wars will not happen overnight, but
worldwide peace is on its way. Nations that have been devastated by civil
or international wars will be given reconstruction assistance, and so will
communities that have been severely damaged by the negativity-ridding
earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and violent storms, whether of natural or
manmade origin. These facets of the transition into the Golden Age will be
aided by new sources of energy that are known but have been suppressed to
keep oil as king and the oil company executives living like kings.

12. We know that you
would like to have names and dates and other specifics related to all the
changes underway, and we cannot provide those. We can see the tapestry,
if you will, but not the individual threads that produce its elaborate
design. All we messengers who speak through our receivers can do is report
the activity we observe in Earth’s energy field of potential, where
possibilities may become probabilities and those may or may not develop into
actualities. It is the same on a global scale as it is with each person’s
life—the big picture can be viewed, more clearly if there is a steady rather
than an erratic pathway, but not each step along that pathway. It depends
on the person’s use of free will and the amount of energy put forth to
achieve his or her goal. With God’s permission, I am giving you an
example. Recently my mother asked God if my sister would take a
specific step in a relationship. “I don’t know because she doesn’t know.
When she knows, so will I.”

13. My objective from
the very beginning has been to offer spiritual enlightenment and guidance
during this unprecedented time not only on Earth, but in the universe, and
as a microcosm of the universe, every soul is part of this. My mother
and I have been complying with a foreign publisher’s request that we add
updated material wherever appropriate to the information I transmitted to
her 1994 to 1997. Readers of Revelations for a New Era may recognize
that in the following explanation that I believe will enhance your
understanding of the god and goddess souls you are.

****************************

S: I know the soul is our eternal connection with God and Creator, but I
don't know exactly what the soul is, or does.

MATTHEW: The soul is the very essence of life as it first sprang from
Creator. It is an indestructible living entity of light energy that may
have a physical body, etheric body or astral body, or it may exist in free
spirit only. Our souls, manifested by God through His co-creating powers
with Creator, are expressions of the love-light of God and contain in
microcosm every essence of God. In any of its forms, the soul is an
inviolate independent being at the same time it exists inseparably with God
and Creator and all other souls.

The body is only a very fleeting vehicle for use by the soul, which is
far stronger and more tenacious than any third density body such as those of
Earth humankind. And, the body does not hold the soul, the soul creates
the body from its image that will fit the specific experiencing it chooses
in each incarnate lifetime. When the soul is released from the physical
body, its etheric body is released at that same instant, and in that etheric
body, the soul makes its lightning-fast transition from Earth to Nirvana.

The soul is the power behind everything that exists on Earth. It is
the life force of all its parts that it creates for ever-greater
experiencing. At every level of evolvement, each soul part is an
independent self with intelligence, characteristics, choices, goals and all
the other life elements that make each person a unique being.

Each individual lifetime of a soul is its personage. The sum
of a soul's personages is the cumulative soul, and all knowledge
gained by each is available to all. Thus, as each one melds into the
cumulative soul, bringing the wisdom of that lifetime’s experiences, every
personage evolves just as the cumulative soul does.

S: Matthew, excuse me please—where does ego fit into the individual soul
that you call the personage?

MATTHEW: Ego
is the part of the personage that is self-identity and self-worth in
accordance with efforts and achievements. But just as honoring those is
not the same as vanity, honoring ego as a reflection of one’s self-identity
is not the same as being egotistical. The sense of self is essential to the
personage, yet often “ego” in that context is overshadowed by its
derivations "egotistical," "egocentric" and "egotism" that define an
individual as being focused solely on himself, relating everything to his
needs or desires, and having a "puffed-up" impression of his
characteristics and achievements. That kind of person is considered pompous
and conceited, without a shred of humility, and unpleasant to be around.

However, much more
serious than having an unpleasing personality is that without any sense
of the humility that is a natural and automatic aspect of spiritual growth,
that person is stagnating in soul evolution. Spiritual growth is the
molding of one’s ego in ways that are aligned with the soul contract. This
is a time for ending third density experiencing, a time when soul contract
choices are designed to overcome traits that are counterproductive to
spiritual growth and to strengthen qualities that foster that growth.

S: How can we know
if we’re “honoring” our accomplishments or being vain about them?

MATTHEW: You know
by the fulfilling feelings like self-confidence that you are making your
best effort in whatever you are undertaking and the self-respect that
comes with knowing that; self-determination to live in godly ways;
self-assurance that you are being or becoming the "who" your soul
signed up to be; self-awareness that you are a part of God and inseparable
from the Oneness of Creation.

S: But what if
the ego “tells” people they’re right in what they believe about themselves,
but actually they’re being negatively influenced by the darkness?

MATTHEW: Attaching
itself to the ego is precisely how the darkness operates, and the
ramifications go far beyond “Is it vanity or humility?” The darkness
shrouds self-identity with the delusion that the person’s convictions are
absolutely correct about what is true and what is false, and it firmly
resists thoughts that threaten those assertions or could lessen the ego’s
stubbornness in holding fast to them. This produces the closed mind, or, in
your common expression, "the box." Just as it applies to all other forms of
dark influence, loveis the key to opening that boxed-up mind
and letting the light come in.

S: Thank you, dear.
Am I right in thinking that the soul’s consciousness is infinitely
greater than the ego’s consciousness?

MATTHEW: You are
indeed, Mother! The
consciousness of the soul has the capability to reach all knowledge
that exists throughout creation. The universal mind—the entire spectrum
of human and godly powers and all experiencing throughout this universe’s
existence—is within each soul. When the soul taps into this, it reports
what it “sees” to the brain, which is a personal computer that processes
data for the mind to assimilate and contemplate. The key to achieving this
is to quiet your thoughts so you can receive the messages from your soul
that may come as images or words or strong sensations or a combination.

S: Matthew, I can’t even begin to imagine what all is in the universal
mind!

MATTHEW: Mother dear, no third density brain has that kind of
comprehension. It is at soul level that this kind of communication
occurs, your soul tapping into everything your cumulative soul knows.

S: Where do cumulative souls reside?

MATTHEW: There is no specific place of residence because a cumulative soul
is not an individual entity, but rather the indivisible sum of all its
personages wherever they are living, and it grows as each one adds its
experiencing to the ever-changing composite. Possibly the best description
of a cumulative soul is a force field that derives its essence from all its
personages wherever they are throughout the universe.

S: Do you personally know the other personages in your cumulative soul
or do you only have access to their knowledge?

MATTHEW: I know those who are in this realm and some of us have become
friends. Some are spending a lifetime on Earth, and I know very well
who they are! Some have moved so far toward the light that our energy
densities are incompatible, so a meeting isn't possible, and others have
regressed far from the light into lower densities, and I'm surely not
interested in going there! Some have chosen lifetimes out of this galaxy,
where I don't travel often, so I'm barely acquainted with them.

Each has its own soul growth to accomplish, Mother. Wherever the
other personages are experiencing for their individual growth, we're always
within the familial bonding of our cumulative soul. But it isn't necessary
that we meet or share lifetime interests or know all the details of each
other's lives. What we do share is the essential knowledge of our
collective awareness, otherwise all the individual souls’ learning would be
wasted.

The cumulative soul can advance from its station toward the light only by
the advancement of its personages. Therefore, each one not only has the
benefit of the cumulative soul's composite knowledge, but it is continuously
given encouragement at soul level to master its chosen lessons so the
cumulative soul can evolve. However, that is not self-serving—with that
soul’s advancement, all of its personages also have the opportunity to
evolve. But, depending upon the free will choices of each, the personage
can either grow toward the light or regress so far as to become trapped in
base energy.

S: If a personage becomes trapped, how does that affect the cumulative
soul's full energy?

MATTHEW: The lifetime energy that consigns a personage to the base energy
placement does not affect its cumulative soul because that personage's
unique energy stream made its own way entirely by its free will choices.
The cumulative soul may encourage its personages, but it can't ever
interfere with their free will. However, out of its love for all its
personages, the cumulative soul may request divine grace to assist any that
become trapped in base energy.

S: Are the individual souls always aware of everything their cumulative
soul knows?

MATTHEW: Let me compare this with your memory, Mother. Nothing you have
ever learned or experienced is ever lost in your memory system, but you
can't remember everything simultaneously–it would be overwhelming!
Furthermore, many of your experiences were so insignificant that they were
irrelevant to subsequent experiencing and never returned to your conscious
mind, yet all are in your memory bank. It's the same with the personages of
the cumulative soul and their lifetime learning.

S: That makes sense. Matthew, with all these parts of your cumulative soul,
I just want to be absolutely sure that you are ONLY my Matthew and nobody
else.

MATTHEW: Oh, Mother, absolutely I am Matthew and no one else! Every personage is its own soul and no one else! The cumulative soul
is the synthesis of all its personages.

S: But it sounds as if every soul that divides itself becomes a
cumulative soul, so you could do the same and become one, too.

MATTHEW: Mother, I realize that in my eagerness to answer your questions,
sometimes my efforts result in confusion rather than clarification. The
terms I've given you for the various aspects of soul expression—cumulative
soul, personages, soul fragments or sparks and such—are meant only to show
the soul's long journey striving through multiple lifetimes to return to its
beginning in the perfect love and light of Creator.

In this realm we don't need differentiation of terms, as the soul's
energy registration in the universe is evidence of its evolutionary station.
Since each soul is its own inviolate self regardless of its station or the
number of its progeny, we think of each simply as "soul." And that is how
we speak of each one to you unless we are trying to explain the soul growth
stages through its independently functioning aspects, or the inseparable and
eternal connection of each soul with God and all other souls in the
universe.

A most relevant point here is that all experiencing of all souls is
within the continuum. There is no linear time basis for the dividing and
subdividing into independent entities. What you may call "past lives"
are in process simultaneously with the “present” and "future" lives of the
cumulative soul. All are merely in different life forms in different stages
of development in different placements in the universe. However, since you
can't comprehend the continuum, we can only explain in accordance with your
past, present and future time structure, call the various lifetimes
"reincarnation," and place it all within a spiritual hierarchical structure
that can fit into your capacity to comprehend.

I still may not have clarified this enough, Mother, but the good news is
that you will understand this seemingly unfathomable mystery when your soul
returns to Nirvana.

S: I'll count on that for later, but I'd like to know now if you and I
have the same cumulative soul.

MATTHEW: We certainly do, Mother! I was hoping you would ask, but if you
hadn't, I would have told you. We go back together almost to our
cumulative soul's beginning, probably half a million or so years ago in your
counting of time. That's why you and I have such similar energy and
special bonding. Some of our family and dearest other people came into it
later on, but many were introduced down the line from other cumulative souls
when we needed them or vice versa.

*********************************

14. Thank you, Mother.
In my next message we will include the other information about the soul.
Now I take my leave by sending the power of love to all and assuring you
once again that your soul family in spirit and in physical realms are with
you every moment.
